Help Setting Up nFusion w/ DP34 Switch...

[panek75]

One other thing.Since the phoenix is a sd receiver and 61.5w being a mostly hd sat your not going to get quality on all the tp's

[av47]

For LNB Type, here are my only options available:
- Standard
- Universal
- Single DPLNBF
- Twin DPLNBF
- Quad DPLNBF
- Legacy Twin LNB 1
- Legacy Twin LNB 2
- Legacy Quad LNB 1
- Legacy Quad LNB 2

There's no Dishpro option.
Didn't realize that 61.5 were mostly HD, but even with the 119 SAT, i'm not getting any picture.

thanks.

I would use the single dplnbf option.Is the receiver scanning in channels and your just not getting video/audio or does the receiver not scan in any channels?

[av47]

when i scan for 119, it is picking up quite a few channels.
Channel 101 comes in okay, but for everything else, i'm getting "Service not available".

[av47]

Okay, so here are my results under Antenna Setting:

Satellite ==> 61.5
LNB Type ==> Single DPLNBF
LO Freq ==> 11250
22KHz ==> OFF
DiSEqC1.0 ==> Port 1
DiSEqC1.1 ==> Disable
Multi-Dish Switch ==> Disable
Lock TP ==> [10/32]12355H 20000
Motor Settings ==> OFF
LNB Power ==> ON
Search Channels ==> CH All Search

RESULTS: S = 68 (Peek) & Q = 87
After searching channels, a Total of roughly 350 channels found.

==============

Satellite ==> 119
LNB Type ==> Single DPLNBF
LO Freq ==> 11250
22KHz ==> OFF
DiSEqC1.0 ==> Port 2
DiSEqC1.1 ==> Disable
Multi-Dish Switch ==> Disable
Lock TP ==> [2/25]12239H 20000
Motor Settings ==> OFF
LNB Power ==> ON
Search Channels ==> CH All Search

RESULTS: S = 68 (Peek) & Q = 89
After searching channels, a Total of roughly 350 channels found.

Yet, when i try and go to a channel, i get the "Service not available" error. Channel 101 is coming in good.

I think i'm close, just need a little more guidance.

Thanks once again.

Hey there av47,

I've also got a DP34 setup running with my NFusion, and I've actually got a DP-Twin for 110/119 AND (believe it or not) a Legacy Dual running 61.5 on the 3rd port of the DP34 switch. From the sounds of it, you seem to be getting good signal/quality already...so, it's probably NOT your antenna settings.

One quick question...do you have a permament network connection from this NFusion stb to the internet? I know you probably have it setup...but make sure you have internet connectivity. That could be why you're getting a "service error" on the messages.

For your reference here are my antenna settings that give me 110/119 (Dish500) and 61.5. Again, all 3 birds running off a DP34 switch that I also used DN receivers with Atmega cards with for years:

Satellite ==> 110
LNB Type ==> Twin DPLNBF
LO Freq ==> 11250
22KHz ==> ON
DiSEqC1.0 ==> Disable
DiSEqC1.1 ==> Disable
Multi-Dish Switch ==> DP21 Dish 1
Lock TP ==> [2/32]12297H 20000
Motor Settings ==> OFF
LNB Power ==> ON
Search Channels ==> CH All Search

Satellite ==> 119
LNB Type ==> Twin DPLNBF
LO Freq ==> 11250
22KHz ==> ON
DiSEqC1.0 ==> Disable
DiSEqC1.1 ==> Disable
Multi-Dish Switch ==> DP21 Dish 2
Lock TP ==> [2/25]12239H 20000
Motor Settings ==> OFF
LNB Power ==> ON
Search Channels ==> CH All Search

Satellite ==> 61.5W
LNB Type ==> Standard
LO Freq ==> 11250
22KHz ==> ON
DiSEqC1.0 ==> Port 3
DiSEqC1.1 ==> Port 3
Multi-Dish Switch ==> Disable
Lock TP ==> [10/32]12355H 20000
Motor Settings ==> OFF
LNB Power ==> ON
Search Channels ==> CH All Search

__________________________________________

Basically, with this setup, I'm able to pull in great signal from all 3 birds...and in my case, because I also have a DP-Twin LNB, I found that instead of using the DiseqC ports for my 110/119 birds, and by setting them as Multi-Dish setups worked better for me. All this from trial and error man!

In any case, if you can confirm that your network connection is good...I'll try and assist you futher.

GOod luck!

I noticed in your channel count you have listed 350 channels for both 119w & 61.5w which sounds correct for 119w but for 61.5w you should only scan in about 80 channels.When your in the antenna setup menu are you getting a sat id banner that confirms you have a lock on 119w or 61.5w

[av47]

Good call q_comm, looks like there's something going on with my router and will have to replace it.

panek75, i'm getting a lock for 119, but doesn't look like the same for 61.5. The S & Q numbers look good under 61.5 though.

Cheers.

Can't believe it, it works!!!

Thanks all - very much appreciate all the guidance!!!!
